Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a cold nonstick skillet, then set over medium heat. Cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until opaque at the thickest part.
  2. Step 2: Whisk honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Brush half the glaze over salmon during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, bring quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in 1 tbsp lemon zest.
  4. Step 4: In a separate skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium-high. Add snap peas and cook for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon over peas.
  5. Step 5: Plate salmon over quinoa, top with snap peas, and garnish with remaining glaze, fresh dill, and lemon wedges.

How do I scale Honey-Sriracha Glazed Salmon with Crispy Snap Peas for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
